Los argentinos observaron, durante varias horas y a simple vista, la llamada "súper luna roja", un eclipse total de luna que comenzó a las 21.09 horas y que culminó alrededor de las 2.23

El espectáculo congregó más de 10.000 personas en el Planetario de Buenos Aires y también convocaron al público el Planetario de La Plata, donde pusieron a disposición del público telescopios para la observación con el asesoramiento respectivo, y el Observatorio Astronómico de Córdoba de la Universidad Nacional de Córdoba Por otra parte, el eclipse fue visible desde la mayor parte de América del Norte, América del Sur, Europa, oeste de Asia y partes de África

A las 22.17, la luna apenas tenía tapada la parte inferior, mientras que a las 23.34, el eclipse era total, y diez minutos después, 23.44, había adquirido el tono rojizo

El fenómeno fue el primer eclipse súper lunar desde 1982, y no se podrá disfrutar de otro igual hasta el año 2033

Además, tiene la particularidad que ocurrió muy cerca del momento del perigeo, es decir, cuando la luna se encontró en su punto más cercano a la Tierra

Los eclipses de luna ocurren sólo en luna llena, momento en el que el satélite se encuentra opuesto al Sol, con la Tierra entre medio, según explicó el sitio oficial de la NASA

En la provincia de Santa Fe, en la ciudad capital, el Centro de Observadores del Espacio ubicado en la Costanera abrió sus puertas desde las 21, para que pudiera ser observado el esperado eclipse total de luna

Asimismo, en la localidad santafesina de Santo Tomé, el Observatorio Astronómico Municipal de Santo Tomé estuvo abierto a partir de las 22, con entrada libre y gratuita, para observa el fenómeno, que coincide también con la mayor luna llena de 2015

En la provincia de San Juan, en la zona del Parque provincial de Ischigualasto, más conocido como Valle de la Luna, se disfrutó de una experiencia visual de singular belleza

Fue instalado un telescopio al lado de la geoforma de El Hongo, además de la presencia de expertos para explicar el particular eclipse de luna

Why Does the Moon Turn Red During a Lunar Eclipse?

During a total lunar eclipse, the Moon usually turns a shade of red or orange. Why is that so?

Earth Casts Its Shadow

The Moon does not have any light of its own-it shines because its surface reflects sunlight. During a total lunar eclipse, the Earth moves between the Sun and the Moon and cuts off the Moon's light supply. When this happens, the surface of the Moon takes on a reddish glow instead of going completely dark.

The red color of a totally eclipsed Moon has prompted many people in recent years to refer to total lunar eclipses as Blood Moons.

Why Red?

The reason why the Moon takes on a reddish color during totality is a phenomenon called Rayleigh scattering. It is the same mechanism responsible for causing colorful sunrises and sunsets, and for the sky to look blue.

Colorful Sunlight

Even though sunlight may look white to human eyes, it is actually composed of different colors. These colors are visible through a prism or in a rainbow. Colors towards the red part of the spectrum have longer wavelengths and lower frequencies compared to colors towards the violet part of the spectrum which have shorter wavelengths and higher frequencies.

Earth's Atmosphere

The next piece of the puzzle of why a totally eclipsed Moon turns red is the Earth's atmosphere. The layer of air surrounding our planet is made up of different gases, water droplets, and dust particles.

When sunlight entering the Earth's atmosphere strikes the particles that are smaller than the light's wavelengths, it gets scattered into different directions. Not all colors in the light spectrum, however, are equally scattered. Colors with shorter wavelengths, especially the violet and blue colors, are scattered more strongly, so they are removed from the sunlight before it hits the surface of the Moon during a lunar eclipse. Those with longer wavelengths, like red and orange, pass through the atmosphere. This red-orange light is then bent or refracted around Earth, hitting the surface of the Moon and giving it the reddish-orange glow that total lunar eclipses are famous for.

Look for a Blue Band

Veteran eclipse watchers will tell you that if you look really hard right at the beginning and just before the end of totality, you may detect a light blue or turquoise band on the Moon's face (see image). This happens because the Earth's Ozone layer scatters red light and lets through some of the blue light that is otherwise filtered out by other layers of the atmosphere.

Many Shades of Red

The Moon can take on different shades of red, orange, or gold during a total lunar eclipse, depending on the conditions of the Earth's atmosphere at the time of the eclipse. The amount of dust particles, water droplets, clouds, and mist can all have an effect on the shade of red. Volcanic ash and dust in the atmosphere can also lead to the Moon turning dark during an eclipse.

Fun fact: If you were lucky enough to see a total lunar eclipse from the Moon, you'd see a red ring around the Earth. In effect, you'll be seeing all the sunrises and sunsets taking place at that specific moment on Earth!

Brightness Scale

Scientists measure the appearance and brightness of a total lunar eclipse using a five-point scale- ranging from 0 to 4- called the Danjon Scale (see image). A lunar eclipse is ranked and assigned a value on the scale at the time of mid-totality.
